Does anyone know how to open a registry hive as a key?  I know I can open a
key with RegOpenKeyEx, but RegOpenKeyEx takes the HIVE and KEY to open.  For
example if I wanted to open HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software I would have to use
both HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE and Software as:

    RegOpenKeyEx(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, Software ...

Then from there I could even enumerate the subkeys under Software.

But my question is, how do I open HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE so I could enumerate
the keys under it?  I want to be able to list out the keys under
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE (HARDWARE, SAM, SECURITY, SOFTWARE, SYSTEM).
